Footnotes
- aOr “set out”
- bLiterally “a great city to God” or “a great city to the gods,” a disputed phrase which may refer to God’s estimate or ownership of Nineveh, to the presence of many idols, or an idiom referring to the size of Nineveh (this translation takes the last view)
- cThis phrase may also refer to a journey on which business was done, so that “three days” is the total elapsed time
